Spanglish is a creative way also of saying, 'I am an American, and I have my own style, my own taste, my own tongue.'

My hope is that 'The New World Haggadah' will open a new world for readers who will see our heritage through a multilingual prism. I wanted to feature medieval and renaissance authors, resistance in World War II, crypto-Jews and activists during the Dirty War in Latin America, songs of protest, and songs of hope.

American Jews are no longer a homogenous minority; we come in all colors and from all corners of the world.
